Apple sells refurbished models on their own online store. You can of course buy a brand new Apple TV for the full $100.00 or score one for sale, but it’s still going to be the same 2012 model that Apple will sell you refurbished and with one year Apple Care for $75.00. Refurbished can mean many things. Maybe they are opened boxes returned for this or that reason. Perhaps a cable or internal part was replaced, cosmetic fixes and so on, but this way you would be getting it directly from Apple with Apples guaranty.
Some people are fundamentaly opposed to buyign refurbished. That’s their perogative. I just don’t’ see much sense in paying full retail or even more than what I would pay on sale for a reconditioned model that is going on three years when you can get it straight from the manufacturer. Now, if you want to have the latest and greatest, then that’s something totally different, but as Apple has taken their sweet time in updating the Apple TV, it would depend on how much you want to wait. Maybe three months, maybe another year… Besides, if you want to get something now, then again, my recommendation would be to save yourself the $25.00 and just grab a refurb Apple TV from the Apple online store.

And why that would be the way to go. I appreciate any help. Thanks a bunch.

It may well be true this time and one would hope so, but if they want to get themselves something now, and not have to depend on rumors that keep on being disproven, then the refurb model directly from Apple would be the way to go.

Is the Apple TV still accessible and if so, which one should a person buy. I was looking on Amazon and saw one for $89 and also saw a 3rd generation revision A. Any thought as I am looking at this for a Christmas present. Also, what all can you get on it? Can you still use Net Flicks?
